Bulldozer of the NBA’s Restricted Area

Back to Charlotte.

This time, I visited Thompson and Jabbar, and met old teammates of Dongka. Li Shengli also finalized his first endorsement in his life, but the details of this matter still need to be handled by Turner, and now the schedule is tight. , I really want to shoot commercials and posters, and I have to wait for the offseason when the season ends.

The next day, Li Shengli and Curry devoted themselves to team training.

Although the team's running-in and individual targeted training can play a slow role, Li Shengli believes that... a person's success is by no means accidental, but piled up in these daily tasks, and a company's daily tasks Players who are unwilling to brush can only be dried salted fish sitting on the bench.

So... Li Shengli trains harder than everyone else. After finishing the daily tasks, he has to give himself extra meals. On the dinner plate are all the videotapes of the previous games of the strong teams. A treatment method for intractable diseases.

The scariest thing in the world is... People who are better than you work harder than you!

The low-profile Li Shengli made the training atmosphere of the entire Hornets warm up. Seeing this talented rookie working so hard, the other teammates felt a little embarrassed...

Speaking of it, this is the same as working in a company.

When it's time to get off work, everyone is generally unwilling to be the first person to clock in and leave work, and the existence of Li Shengli is definitely a bug in the workplace.

Not off work?

So wasted?

Come on, hurt each other!

Fortunately... Curry, who was always thinking about going home to pay the public food, solved the trouble for everyone, took Jill and Boggs, and forcibly dragged Li Shengli, who was working hard, into the car.

...

Good thing!

Great news!

Seeing the changes in the Hornets, head coach Alan was very relieved.

The leader of a team may not be the strongest in the team, or the most dazzling player on the field, but he must be someone who can bring positive influence to his teammates and unite them together at critical moments.

Obviously... Li Shengli is transitioning from a good player to a leader player.

All of this happened naturally, changing the Hornet subtly. Maybe others didn't notice it, but the keen Alan saw the amazing changes in Li Shengli.

effort?

This is an essential condition for a good player.

Although looking at the entire NBA league, there are many people who work harder than Li Shengli, but... most of those people can't compare to him in terms of talent.

Talented and willing to work hard, Alan believes... one day, Li Shengli will stand at the top of the NBA center, and time will prove this!

...

On November 15, the Hornets played the Orlando Magic.

Three days later, on the night of November 18th, the Hornets ushered in the Western underdog Minnesota Timberwolves at home. Of course, this is based on the ratings given in the past few seasons. This season has the addition of Alonzo Mourning, is it true? Weak... still to be considered!

After the players enter the field and warm up, the game will start soon.

Unlike the mischievous O'Neal, Mourning walked onto the field with a face as hard as his character, staring at Li Shengli closely, and the two of them didn't even have a polite greeting.

...

The Hornets' starting lineup is still the old lineup.

Li Shengli, who has now become the core player of the Hornets, does his part to start the center, and of course Aunt Johnson, who is also the core player, is also the starting power forward.

It is worth mentioning the Timberwolves lineup.

In this era, the Twin Towers strategy is still in the early stages of formation, but it shines brilliantly. In the last draft, Luke Longley, who was the seventh overall pick in the first round, was signed by Tanhua Mourning , The Timberwolves erected a two-tower lineup in the penalty area.

First up is Mourning.

As a rookie of the Timberwolves, after a few games, although his performance was not as eye-catching as Li Shengli and O'Neal, the two big mountains on his head, he also performed well, averaging close to 20 points per game and 8.8 rebounds per game.

Let's talk about Luke Longley.

He is the same height as Li Shengli, both 218 centimeters, but to be honest... His statistics last season were really not enough. He averaged only 5.8 points and 4.4 rebounds in 19 minutes per game.

However, in recent games, the power of the combination of Mourning and Luke Longley has begun to show.

You know, what the Twin Towers emphasize is to control the penalty area and control the rebounds. In this era when the inside is king and the outside three-pointer is weak, the Twin Towers combination has shown great power on both ends of the offense and defense.

There are still...

Shooting guard Doug West, the veteran of the Timberwolves, although he has not played for a few seasons, Doug West is the team's top scorer, averaging 19.3 points per game and ranking first in the team.

Small forward Zach Posen, who played for the Pacers last season, switched to his new club and averaged 16.8 points per game, but this is based on his more shots, shooting 43.3% It's really not enough to watch.

...

With a lineup like the Timberwolves, to be honest...even Hornets fans feel that their team will never lose.

Although the power of the twin tower combination is not bad, it also needs to be divided into people. Mourning is a rookie, and Luke Longley is at most a second-rate center. The twin towers of the two seem to be tall enough, but how far they can play against Li Shengli...is still a question mark.

...

After a whistle, the audience waited for the Hornets to win the seven-game winning streak that created team history, and the game officially started.

For the jump ball, although Luke Longley and Li Shengli are the same height, their jumping in an instant is still quite different. Li Shengli successfully jumped the ball easily.

Facing the Timberwolves' defense, Boggs relied on his height'disadvantage' to easily break through and attract supplementary defenses, and he took advantage of the opportunity to transfer the ball to Jill who was waiting outside.

Swish!

Three points hit!

Although the NBA doesn't pay much attention to three-pointers at this time, it doesn't mean that they don't shoot. After a game, the total number of three-pointers from both sides is about 10. This is considered a routine operation, and obviously, Jill feels good.

...

After the offensive and defensive transition.

The Timberwolves pressed forward, and Doug West made a blatant shot from the outside, but he was not willing to shoot 3 points.

As far as last season's statistics are concerned, he averaged only 0.3 3-point shots per game, less than one shot in three games, and his shooting percentage was even more embarrassing... 8.7%.

After teammate Zach Posen cooperated with the pick-and-roll, the little Boggs didn't even see anyone, and Doug West shot.

Boom!

After the ball hit the iron, Luke Longli took Li Shengli's position and went straight to the ball's landing point, and Mourning was also with him.

One is mainly responsible for cards, and the other is mainly responsible for grabbing boards.

Mourning and Luke Longley cooperated very skillfully, and the Timberwolves got the first rebound in the opening game. Li Shengli is really not a fairy. Facing the cooperation of the two, he didn't even have a 50-50 chance.
